Introducing Cisco ISE Express

Easy, Affordable Guest Services Entry-Level Bundle for the Market-Leading Cisco ISE

• ISE Express:

One (1) ISE VM with ISE Base Licenses for 150 Endpoints for Single Site Deployment (non-distributed, no high-availability)

• The Features:

Guest, RADIUS/AAA, Unlimited Custom Portals with ISE Portal Builder, Easy Installation Guide

It is a common occurrence that such services present an expensive proposition to a multitude of smaller organizations and more cost-cognizant companies. In response to this apprehension, the Cisco Identity Services Engine team developed ISE Express, an all-inclusive licensing package that offers enterprise-level guest services, comprising hotspot, sponsored, and self-registration portals. It gives RADIUS and authentication, permission, and accounting (AAA) for access control for up to 150 endpoints at an aggressive entry-level cost structure.

Features Included with Cisco ISE Express

The licensing bundle itself comprises a Cisco Identity Services Engine Base license for up to 150 endpoints, an ISE virtual machine, unconstrained access to the ISE Portal Builder, and a setup guide that makes installing the solution comparatively simpler. Cisco ISE comprises native design abilities. You can rapidly develop a portal by adding pictures (logos and banners, for example) and choosing a color scheme to match a corporate brand. The Cisco ISE Portal Builder is a web-based development tool which empowers users with the ability to develop highly tailored portals in 17 languages via a set of 10 designer templates which are easily customizable and simple to export to the solution.

Cisco ISE Express is constrained to a single occurrence and cannot be run as a distributed solution or in a high-availability installation configuration. Nonetheless, this bundle gives an attractive preliminary point for a Cisco ISE installation. You also gain the accessibility of expanding the configuration at a later date to support supplementary guests or more progressive use cases.
